Buy one $1 scratch-off lottery ticket every day and record the results

Because of #LeapDay, I purchased twenty-nine $1 scratch-off lottery tickets in February. Eight of them were winners (for a total of $19), the rest were not and I ended up down $10 on the month despite torching January's total by a five spot. I'm starting to realize that playing the lottery is not a great way to make money.

Run a half marathon

I ran 55.6 miles in February, including an eleven-miler through Golden Gate Park on the 21st, so I feel okay about this goal. I should confess that I was supposed to have run more, but drinking mudslides on the beach in Puerto Rico took precedence. Regardless, if I ignore the pain in my knees and manage to locate my running shoes, I feel confident that I'll wrap this goal up by month's end.

Spend at least one hundred hours volunteering

The current score on this goal is still 0/100 but the Rooftop Ravens are back on the soccer pitch next week, so it looks like March might not end in a third consecutive shutout.

Sock away [REDACTED AMOUNT OF MONEY]

I am currently two twelfths of the way toward achieving this goal. Also, whoever came up with the word twelfths was probably very drunk because most of the word is just slurring.

Write a children's book

My plan of not doing anything to further this goal until I've completed my 'Run a half marathon' goal is still my plan. I have a feeling that this goal is gonna be the hardest.

Other things unrelated to goal-achieving (or lack thereof) that happened in my life in February of 2016 include:
